우주발사체와 발사지원설비를 연결하여 추진제 공급과 전기신호 송수신 등을 가능하게 하는 메커니즘을 엄브리칼 장치라고 한다. 국내 우주발사체의 경우 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하며, 질소, 공기 및 헬륨 등의 가스를 밸브구동, 공간 퍼지, 추진제 가압에 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 우주센터의 발사대설비에 적용된 엄브리칼 장치 중 추진제 및 고압가스 공급을 위한 자동체결장치(auto coupling device)의 구성, 기능 및 발사 준비를 위한 프로세스에 대해 기술하고 있다. 자동체결장치는 발사체 하부 두 곳에 연결되며, 산화제 공급측의 체결장치(coupling device 1)와 연료 공급측의 체결장치(CD 2)로 구성된다. 이 장치는 발사체와의 접촉면에서 기밀을 확보한 상태에서 내부의 탱크, 밸브, 인터스테이지 등에 추진제 및 각종 가스를 공급하는 통로역할을 하며, 발사준비가 완료된 후에는 발사체 이륙 전 또는 이륙과 동시에 발사체로부터 자동으로 분리된다. 각각의 체결장치 구성품으로는 발사체 이륙시 발생하는 고온의 화염으로부터 장치를 보호하는 PD(protective device), 접촉면에 기밀을 제공하고 추진제 누출을 방지는 MCP(multi-channel plate), 접촉면을 보호하기 위한 덮게, 각종 연결 배관의 전진과 후진을 위한 캐리지, 발사체와의 체결을 지지하는 그립 등이 있다. 발사 준비를 위해서 사전에 장치의 독립운용시험을 통해 각 구성품의 상태와 기능을 점검하고 장치의 작동성을 검증한다. 이후 발사체를 모사하는 기체 및 관제설비와 종합적으로 연계 시험과 모사시험을 수행하여 최종적으로 발사준비상태를 확인하게 된다. 이러한 자동체결장치의 운용 경험은 한국형발사체의 지상지원설비 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper is concerned with the prediction of lift-off acoustic loads for a launch vehicle. Intense acoustic load is generated when a launch vehicle is lifted off, and it can induce vibrations of a launch vehicle which cause damage or malfunction of a launch vehicle and a satellite. Lift-off acoustic loads of NARO are predicted by the modified Eldred's second method and the result is compared with the measured data in flight test. The prediction shows similar peak and shape of spectrum to the test data, but some discrepancy can be observed due to the predicted margin. In order to reduce such discrepancy, the sound pressure levels with four source distribution assumptions are calculated. Also, the surface diffraction effects are considered in the predict ion of lift-off acoustic loads, and the predicted result is more similar to the test data.

This paper proposes a prediction model of air traffic controller's take-off clearance under mixed mode runway operations. The proposed model has its purpose on the better prediction of the air traffic controller's clearance on take-offs of departure aircraft by considering various factors. For this purpose, support vector machine classification algorithm is used for the proposed model. The proposed model is applied to real air traffic operations to demonstrate its performances.

The simplified performance analysis and initial configuration design are required for the successful development of UAV during the conceptual design, in which empirical formulas and trend equations are utilized for the UAV performance analysis. In the conceptual design phase various UAV configurations may be considered, however, it is very inefficient and unnecessary to consider all configurations for the conceptual design. In this study, the database for the fixed wing UAVs whose MTOW is between 50kg and 1,500kg was also constructed for the selection of configuration frequently used. The parametric analyses were performed for major performance parameters, and trend equations were developed through regression analyses for these individual performance parameters.

KARI has been conducting R&D for independent development of KSLV-II since 2010. Vehicle holding device is a device for vertically standing SLV on the launch pad of launch complex and fixing the lower part of vehicle in order to firmly fix vehicle so that SLV does not fall from an external load such as a wind load. When thrust generated after the 1st stage engine ignition of SLV must exceed the takeoff weight of vehicle, and holding device should be quickly released so that it does not interfere with takeoff of vehicle like other ground equipment at the beginning of the launch. Pyro-valve is one of the key components constituting VHD, and it should have high reliability and quick response characteristics with similar functional parts applied to launch vehicle separation device and satellite separation device. Through this paper, I intend to broaden the overall understanding of the development process of pyro-valve for VHD and KSLV-II.

A drone invented for the military has been increased the range of application with the development of relevant technology, and it influences to include the private area. Currently, the use of drone has been increasing in many areas, such as agriculture, unmanned parcel service, production of image contents, and architecture. In 2021, South of Korea, a drone certificate system for drone flight is introduced and on operation. In case of drone flight with the maximum takeoff weight as 2kg or up, the flight experience and practical examination are required, whereas in case of drone lighter than 2kg, the online education qualification is enough to operate it without the flight experience and practical examination. Recently, the drone related accidents have been increasing with the rapidly supply of camera drones with the maximum takeoff weight as less than 2kg. This paper introduces the characteristics of the camera drone to meet burgeoning demand, and discusses an education plan for the camera drone.

This paper explores three-dimensional unsteady computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses with an overset grid technique to analyse the wake effect created by a rotating propeller on a hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Additionally, the influence of actual aileron deflection on the equilibrium condition of the rolling moment is examined in various hand-launched take-off conditions. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of initial aileron deflection in increasing the initial rolling stability during the hand-launched take-off process. Furthermore, an aerodynamic database is constructed to rapidly predict the aileron set values required for different take-off speeds and angle-of-attacks.
